For those living in a state where electricity has been deregulated (Texas, California, New York, several others), Ambit Energy has a program where you can make money by recruiting customers and other consultants. You get paid $100 for every two customers or consultants you sign up. Then you get income from electricity the customers use. You can also get free electricity after recruiting 15 customers - each month is free that you maintain at least 15 customers. It works sort of like Amway or Mary Kay but there is no product to push - everyone already uses electricity. If you can help someone save on their electric bill, you're golden! If not, thank them for their time and find someone else that you can help save money.
Some people have gotten rich but honestly, for most people it can bring in a few extra bucks each month, more than enough to repay the sign-up fee and free electricity is nothing to sneeze at. Being honest, there are several people who haven't been able to make it work for them. Personally, I'm not quitting mystery shopping and flying to Hawaii anytime soon - but a trip to the mall might come a little sooner than expected

I don't want to be in violation of forum rules. Normally the sign-up fee to join is $429 but they are running a special where you can join for $75 until June 5th. If anyone is interested in details, PM me. If even posting this is a violation of forum rules, I'm happy to edit as necessary.
